Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE)

We are working on development of SABRE hyperpolarization technique primarily in the context of developing 15N-hyperpolarized molecular contrast agents using SABRE-SHEATH approach pioneered in Chekmenev Lab in collaboration with Theis, Warren and Goodson labs.

Our current efforts are focused on development of hypoxia sensor metronidazole, theragnotic radio-sensitizer nimorazole and pH sensing 15N-based imidazole compounds for molecular imaging of cancer and other diseases.
